Dear Parents and Carers,
I am the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) which means I am the primary person in charge of safeguarding and child protection at OVPA.
In my role, I am responsible for managing concerns, being the first point of contact for people with concerns and deciding how to respond. I provide advice and support and take responsibility for training the staff team so that we can all keep the children at OVPA, safe.
There are a number of ways that you can contact me if you have a safeguarding concern or need some support:
